# Spectrum_Deafult_Project_Template
# CAN Utility Board
A project template used for Spectrum Solarteam KiCAD proejcts.
This board is used to easliy connect our CAN bus to a test setup. Using several pins, new microcontrollers, logic analyzers, or other equipment can be connected.
This project includes:
- gitignore
- SpecLib included
- JLCPCB Gerber generation
Next to that, it is useful for inject 12v power onto the bus.
# Usage
__Steps 3 up until 5 could be replaced with the `Spectrum_Project_Cloner.bat` script if you have that one on your computer.__ (not included in this repository)
1. Go to https://hub.allspice.io/SpectrumSolarteam/Spectrum_Default_Project_Template
2. Click "Use this template", and create a repository using the template. Remember to check everything under "Template Items"
3. Clone the newly created repo to your computer
4. Rename `project.kicad_pro`, `project.kicad_sch` and `project.kicad_pcb` to the name of the repository (project name). _Remember to use the same name for all three files!_
4. Run `git submodule add ../SpecLib.git`
5. Open the project in KiCad and you're good to go!
It is only intended to be used in test setups, not during operation in a race.
